Almost everywhere we went in Taiwan, we encountered what I assumed are stray dogs walking the streets and even some highways. It was a sad sight to see some previously injured and walking on three legs.This one greets us as we returned to our tour bus. He must have gotten used to tourists feeding him.

I walked up onto the bus and looked back at him. He did not move or make a sound even as our bus pulled away.I thought of my dog back at home and thought how spoiled he is while this one isn't so lucky.

Many cities have stray cats or dogs and I always think it is heartbreaking. In the town where I lived in South Africa, there was an explosion of stray cats and a local nursery took them in, spayed them all and now gives them annual shots. In exchange, their population is controlled and they eat any rats or mice that might threaten the plants and shrubs.

oh, that dog looks as if he is trying to tell us something...must have been fascinated by you and your camera...I pray someone eventually adopts and takes care of him...It is my first time to visit your page and I am loving everything here...
